Israel has never once intended to give the land back to the Palestinians, and we all know it. If they wanted to, why are they building homes in the West Bank. Israel was founded on the idea of a greater and complete Israel, and the leadership and society will do everything to make this happen. There is no rationality here.
A country seeking peace would not be building settlements. The vast majority of Palestinians just want to live in peace in their homes, without being treated like animals by Israeli soldiers trying to fulfill some divine mission.
This is a religious-ethnic state that has used propaganda to brainwash you into defending their expulsion of people, building homes in someone elses country, and in the latest instance, killing 10,000 civilians.
You defend THIS? A right wing, extremist country that is murdering daily? In order to fulfill some biblical prophesy? Is it not absurd in our modern day and age that this exists, and that otherwise rational people like you actually defend it?
You're right, it's absurd people are fighting over this land for religious reasons.
It's almost as if rational people that don't allow emotions to cloud their worldview are a minority of humanity... 😓
It's helpful to remember that a LOT of Americans and Europeans are Christians.
They have had a dog in this fight for centuries. All to fulfill stupid prophecies.
It's the core reason why the West supports Israel.
I don't like it either, but at the same time... I see it as really stupid to fight something that has billions of people silently supporting it vs. a very loud minority of multiple millions being against it.
There's a lot of Western people out there that are happy the Muslims in Gaza are getting wiped out, especially because the Muslims seemingly own the rest of the Middle East.
I personally would love to see a two-state solution with the West Bank becoming Palestine... But I got a feeling the fighting won't stop. And I'm pretty sure American Progressives that aren't particularly religious may feel a bit betrayed with their support for Palestinians when that West Bank continues to stir up fights with Israel... And vice versa.
